No where near fully clogged.

Still needs to be cleaned.

Taking things up a notch.

Ordered up the exhaust manifold nuts I need and some intake bolts. Need to get my injectors done before I can proceed much more.

I got something planned for the valve cover too.

It’s not like I don’t have knuckle job and brakes to work on in the meantime.

Looks awesome!

So I am thinking about wheels + tires. Lift will be mild because I like it low and don’t really want to do 37’s at this time.

I am thinking about going FJCruiser 17” steelies. The tires I want only come in a 17” wheel. It is a Nitto in a 35x11.5R17. So thoughts on 17” steelies? I like alloy wheels but not many out there I like that is a non-bead lock besides the SCS. If going beadlock, it’s Walker Evans all the way for me but those are $$$$$$.

Guessing you don't like these? The couple i've seen on 80's look pretty IMHO.

Ya not really a fan, will take a second look though.

There are couple pics in here.

TRD Pro wheels on an 80?

Got the FN FX PRO wheels on my 75. And the FN Overlander Spec B wheels on my 94 (The Green Bean) and couldn't be happier. Center hub bores had to be machined through FN Wheels to use a standard 4.25" cap. No spacers were used on either vehicle. Hey I’m looking at running the same setup...

A little Friday night love for my engine.

Got the exhaust manifold nuts in so installed and torqued down.

All the sensors below intake manifold installed and got new manifold bolts so torqued it down. Glad I was able to get the knock sensors for $100/each vs $200. Still expensive to replace all these with new.

Refreshing

Sent my injectors off to the Injector Doctor earlier this week. Should have them back next week.

I am looking at the SCS wheels now, I just wanted a 7.5” wide vs a 8.5” wide. My mind pretty made up on the 35x11.5 Nittos though.

I picked a hot day to rebuild the front end.

[SNLC]

Haha posted this in Johns thread for a hot minute.

Prep is done and starting on reassembly.

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

Done other than a new cap for the hub.

The Doctor called me today, Dr. Injector that is. Turns out I got one bad injector. He got me a new Denso for $65, that’s way cheaper than the $140 Toyota wants.

Cheers

Ready to rock n’ roll on booster/master.

Just need time to install.

The offset is wrong and the center bore has to be cut out to get them over the Cruiser hubs. Two significant mods in order to fit an improper wheel.

Yup, they out.

Cant decide on steelies or the SCS. I got time to decide though. Either way it is 17’s and a Nitto 35x11.5.

Correct geometry would be 17x8 with 4.5 inches of backspace or zero offset. In this case both descriptions end up being the same thing.

This is what a new OEM valve cover looks like.
